House Republicans are pushing a bill that would authorize the National Guard to use lethal force against individuals with weapons crossing from Mexico into the U.S.

The Defend Our Borders from Armed Invaders Act was introduced by Republican Rep. Morgan Luttrell of Texas, a former Navy SEAL who served in the Navy for 14 years.

In the last year, there have been multiple instances of migrants crossing into the U.S. carrying weapons, with some brandishing rifles like the AR-15.

And as the Biden administration and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott clash over border security policies, this bill, Luttrell claims, will enable the National Guard to better protect the U.S. by using 'any means necessary' to stop armed migrants.

'We're seeing violent crime continually escalate at the border and flow into our communities, as President Biden's policies have created an untenable national security crisis,' Luttrell told DailyMail.com in a statement.

'This legislation is a step in the right direction to reign in this crime by providing the National Guard the power to stop these armed individuals from crossing into the United States by any means necessary.'

The bill allows National Guardsmen 'to take such actions as may be necessary to repel persons attempting to enter the United States from Mexico who are carrying weapons, and for other purposes,' according to a copy of the text shared with DailyMail.com.

In August, Texas Rangers drone operators in Eagle Pass, Texas, observed a male with a presumed AR rifle guiding a group of illegal immigrants across the Rio Grande.

'The unidentified male made it back to Mexico,' Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Safety said at the time.

Another group of migrants was also spotted in August carrying rifles across the border into the U.S., according to a Fox News report...

Unnecessary BS legislation to do what they can do already. Reading the US Constitution and passing a test about it should be a requirement of all Congressional candidates.
